NATO secretary general expected to visit Kiev on August 7

NATO Secretary General Anders Fogh Rasmussen is expected to pay a visit to Kiev on August 7, a representative of the Ukrainian mission at NATO told Itar-Tass on Tuesday.

"Yes, we expect this visit," he said.

NATO's official spokesperson, Oana Lungescu, neither confirmed nor denied this information. The only thing she said was that the NATO secretary general's visits were, as a rule, officially announced two days prior to the visit.
